What is heavier than the earth. Who is higher Numerologist.com Review than the sky. What travels even faster than the wind. What outnumbers even the number of twigs of grass in this world. To which the wise Pandava replied, The mother's glory excels the earth's weight. The father surpasses the sky. The mind travels faster than even the wind and one's worries are more in number than all the twigs of grass in this world.
Yudhisthira's answers clearly show his mastery of Vedic knowledge, but their symbolism transcends any cultural or religious framework. The mother and father relate to the Feminine and Masculine principles, while the mind speed and capacity for worrying are aspects of the human nature we all share and are very familiar with. The Feminine refers to the earth, the material plane of manifestation-that is, the creative potential that crystallizes everything in our reality and in Creation. The Masculine relates to the sky, to the ethereal plane of Consciousness that pervades and animates all matter, and with which we can transform and transcend any reality.
By connecting the mind and its tendency to produce worries to the previous questions, the sacred crane is implicitly correlating the inherent potentiality of the mind with the higher Feminine and Masculine principles, thus suggesting its ability to transcend the elements-what we perceive as our reality. He doesn't say how or why, he simply clumps these four questions together to trigger the process of self-awareness in the one he is demanding answers from and in the reader, of course.
Like his European counterpart Sir Galahad, who found the Holy Grail in the Arthurian story, only Yudhisthira was willing and able to answer all the questions the crane asked because of his purity of mind. This was also why he was naively tricked into gambling his reign in the first place and later he was able to save his brothers from many misadventures, including the one by the lake. His loyalty, compassion, patience, and discriminative wisdom guided him every step of the way.
